About · Our company
We help farms sell more of what they grow.
Kynetic Technologies Corp. is a Los Angeles company. We make cold-storage units that keep fresh produce fresh for weeks instead of days, right at the farm. We're starting with California strawberry farms.
Mission
More time for every harvest.
Less waste
Keep more of what's grown out of the trash.
Better prices
Give farms time to sell when prices are good.
Wider reach
Let fresh produce travel farther by truck.
Who we serve
Farms and businesses that handle fresh produce.
Growers, packers, and shippers of crops that spoil quickly. We start with strawberries, then cherries, blueberries, apples, and pears, each validated separately.

Our journey
How we got here.
“We have no leverage against the retailers.”
California strawberry grower · Santa Maria district · July 2026
Early 2026
The question
Big warehouses have kept apples fresh for months for decades using controlled atmosphere. But that storage costs millions to build, so most farms can't use it. We started Kynetic in Los Angeles to put the same technology in a container any farm can have.
March 2026
The container is independently tested
An independent national lab tested our 40-ft container. It met every requirement. See the report →
April 2026
The modular room is independently tested
The same lab tested our modular room. It also met every requirement. See the report →
June 2026
We drove to 100+ farms
We visited farms across California to ask what costs them money. The answer was the same everywhere: too little time to sell before produce spoils.
29 June 2026
A farm signed on
A California strawberry farm signed a letter of interest to host a pilot of our container.
July 2026
Inside the production units
We inspected the finished container and modular room in person.
September 2026
Company Incorporation
Kynetic Technologies Corp. was incorporated.
Now
Preparing the pilot
We're preparing a pilot of our container technology on the farm, planned for the 2027 season, with strawberries as the test crop. 6 neighboring farms are waiting on the result. Where we are →
Next
From one farm to many
The neighboring farms first, then more crops across California.
